Deaf From Birth, Now She Can Hear: A Creative Miracle
Dr RJ Sing, 20 January 2013, 5 min
Originally preached as “A Deaf Woman Healed”
Sermon outline
God still does creative miracles: in the name of Jesus he commands a deaf spirit to leave a woman deaf from birth, and she begins to hear and repeat his words back to him.
Opening
The short clip opens as a woman who has been deaf from birth is brought to the front. He asks who brought her and whether someone can sign to her, and asks them to tell her that when he prays she will begin to hear. She believes it.
When I pray for her she'll begin to hear
Before he prays he makes sure she understands what is about to happen and that her faith is engaged. He checks with those who know her how long she has been deaf and hears that she has never been able to hear at all.
“Tell her when I pray for her she'll begin to hear.”
I command hearing to be restored
He tells her to look at him and speaks directly to the deaf spirit, commanding it in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to let her go. He then asks the Father for a creative miracle so her hearing is restored completely, and commands her eardrums to open and her ears to hear.
“I command hearing to be restored.”
- Mark 9:25
Testing the miracle
He tests her hearing on the spot, asking her to repeat numbers after him, and she says them back. He brings her before the people and tells them that this woman was completely deaf and is now listening and can hear everything.
Illustration: He has her repeat 'one, two' and other numbers into the microphone as he checks whether she can hear him.
“Now she's listening, she can hear everything.”
Isn't God good?
He turns the moment into praise, calling the church to give God the glory for the first time she has ever heard. He then asks her name and where she lives.
“Isn't God good? Come on, give him praise.”
Putting it into practice
- Believe God for the impossible, even for a condition someone has had since birth.
- Pray with authority in the name of Jesus and ask for creative miracles.
- Give God the praise when He moves.
Closing
He rejoices with the congregation and a fellow pastor, asks the woman if she is happy, and asks her name and where she stays as the clip ends.
In his words
- “Deaf spirit, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I command you, let this woman loose.”
- “I command now her eardrums to be opened and her ears to hear in Jesus' mighty name.”
- “This lady was completely deaf.”
- “Isn't God good?”
